3:55 - Game four liveblog will be forthcoming; just had to get the A-Team inspiration going seeing how others are having fun with theirs. Don't bother telling me a whale isn't a fish either; you're in no position to challenge B.A. Baracian logic.

No Cowan tonight, so there goes any chances at bras being thrown. Maybe it should just become a GM Place thing? Be back soon; in the meantime, may I suggest some television?

10:39 - Well, one thing's for sure: while Vs got rid of Beezer, Brian Engblom has picked up the "Canucks frankly suck" line and is running away with it. Cut your hair dude, then we can talk about the nuances of the Canucks thank you.

10:44 - No Cowan, no Cooke, no Kesler. If Vancouver somehow wins this game and takes Anaheim down, I'm going to need to write a mammoth post about the heart of this team.

10:45 - And Brad May helps knock Mitchell around a little. Awesome. This injury stuff is getting a little ridiculous.

10:48 - And Perry takes a cross checking penalty so we get to see our Gigli of a powerplay go to work. Ugh, anyone need a drink out there yet?

10:50 - Good to see Bieska back out there. Good to see the PP still sucks. Good to see the vintage jerseys. Good to see I still dislike Pronger greatly. Par for the course all around!

10:57 - Linden just slammed into Pronger as best as he could...wasn't much, but man, this team is just not backing down. Henrik just had a great redirection chance...we need Giguere to fall asleep for a bit.

11:01 - I am slowly beginning to dislike every Duck I see. It MUST be game four! Salo is going to the box for being just too damn good for smacking McDonald in the face.

11:05 - Say it with me...NASLUND SCORES. One more time...NASLUND SCORES. For good measure...THE VANCOUVER CAPTAIN SCORES. 1-0 Vancouver.

11:08 - It's adorable that the Anaheim fourth line is playing so much. Here's hoping stupid calls follow if all they can muster at this point is messing around with Luongo.

11:12 - Looks like the Canucks didn't get the league memo again that Anaheim is supposed to kill them. At least not in this period. You'd never know they are down three key forwards right now. Shit, Bulis crunching Pronger (as much as a crunch Bulis can deliver to a guy like him anyway)? Good stuff guys.

11:15 - The Ducks attack is picking up...and curiously the "Pronger sucks" chant from the home crowd goes up accordingly. Selanne sells a pick from Henrik so the Duckies go back to the power play.

11:20 - Canucks take the lead and some added confidence into the dressing room. A great first period for both teams.

11:21 - Wow, Brian Engblom does a 180 and now loves the Canucks. Even Keith Jones is getting in the act a bit. See what a little effort can do for the underdog? God I hate Pronger...

11:38 - Linden is still fired up about Selanne diving. Lui just makes a great stop to make sure they don't shit the bed in the first minute of the second period. They've learned SO much from the Dallas series!

11:41 - Giguere just got away with holding Bulis' stick. That was about all the offensive prowess I've seen from Morrison all series.

11:45 - Ugh, Henrik takes another call. Hooking it looks like. The Canucks REALLY cannot gamble with a Duck powerplay like this if they want to try and stretch out a 1-0 lead for another period.

11:47 - Morrison decides, rather then take advantage of a 2-on-1 shorthanded break that it's better to just launch a slap shot. C'mon man...making matters worse, Green just reopened what's left of Selanne's face and the Ducks will be on the powerplay....forever. Fucking hell.

11:50 - The Ducks take a bench penalty to kill the advantage. Absolutely huge...I couldn't stomach much more of watching them set up and take shots like they were.

11:56 - Henrik now draws a call against the Ducks captain after yet another 2-on-1 rush for Vancouver. The Canucks are picking it up a bit here, just in time for their Gigli again.

12:00 - Hey, it's Wednesday! Happy hump day everyone. Canucks are still winning and Gigli has one minute left before we can (gleefully) return to five aside.

12:03 - Morrison now takes a call on a bad shift by Vancouver; the Duck forecheck was all over them there. This must be like the sixth or seventh man advantage for Anaheim so far. Stupid stupid stupid...

12:05 - Jan Bulis has played a hell of a game so far. He just made another big clear on a powerplay during which the Ducks had no shots. Nicely done. Now let's never do that again tonight, ok?

12:08 - Morrison on his second 2-on-1 of the night and decides to work his way closer to the net and fires a backhander that bounces off of Beauchemin and, look at that, right behind Mister Giguere. 2-0 Vancouver...and I sure as shit don't get to write that score very often in these post season liveblogs!

12:14 - I may be losing my vision a bit, but from what I can see the Canucks PK is perfect, they have two goals from their leaders and Luongo has been phenominal again. 20 minutes to go and we have to hit 'reset' on this series all over again.

12:32 - Well, just as in the second, the Canucks start the third and really wanted to shit the bed and give the Ducks one. But Luongo said "nyet". And then spit in anger and punched a midget. What, you didn't see it? I did.

12:35 - Henrik just tried a spinarama shot. Look what a two goal lead does to these guys! Maybe someone will try and head a shot in next.

12:37 - Did I say a two goal lead? Let's try a one goal lead; Pronger sends a floater in and there was plenty of traffic in front of Luongo, just enough to get the Ducks on the board and make a game out of this now. 2-1 Vancouver.

12:44 - Getzlaf flattens Morrison and the Canucks are about to get their Gigli on for a few minutes.

12:46 - Giguere has had another great game here. His play, and the Canuck's inability to do shit on the man advantage, kill off another one.

12:47 - Bieska hands the Ducks their seventh man advantage just as Nonis breaks up the Sedins. This is getting obscene.

12:50 - Just what they needed, a huge kill. 8 minutes and change remaining but the Ducks are pressing badly. Vancouver can't sit back and let their forecheck drunk punch them into taking more penalties.

12:56 - Anaheim just had an incredible flurry in the Canucks end for what felt like over a minute. Vancouver seems to be just trying to weather the storm right now. Again, not the best idea....and before I'm even done writing Selanne slams home a rebound after the Canucks got caught skating around in circles again. For fucks sake people...2-2 everyone.

1:02 - Stop me if you've heard this one...the Ducks forecheck aggressively and the Canucks take another fucking call. That's #8 on the night. With about three minutes remaining...all the ingredients are there right now for just an epic meltdown to be complete.

1:05 - They get the kill they needed and Bulis and Mo had a good quick chance against Giguere. Both teams are trading chances now but it doesn't matter...20 minutes ago ALL Vancouver had to do was stick to their system. Instead, they did what they love and they sat back hoping Luongo could save them. And now they get a fifth fucking OT instead of just ending this game. Vancouver HAS to get the next goal; losing this game likely puts the series out of reach.

1:23 - Here's hoping this doesn't take too long for the Canucks to find the back of the net and send this back to Anaheim tied.

1:23 - Well, it'll take a little longer then I had hoped. Moen slams home a rebound after Vancouver gave the puck away in their zone. Again. 3-2 Ducks is your final.

Post game - I said at the end of game #3 that I could deal with that sort of loss. But no fucking way with game #4; I can't truly explain how the Canucks played so well in the first and second and then became the 2004-05 version of their team in the third. They just sat back, they let Anaheim (a deeper, more experienced team) to just dictate the play and worst yet, they kept taking mindless fucking penalties.

I can't say the Ducks deserve that win as much as the Canucks simply didn't want it enough. The Ducks used Vancouver mistakes as the noose and simply hung them with it. Pathetic. How this team is going to come back from a 3-1 hole with play like that is beyond me. They showed yet again they can outplay this Anaheim team, but at the same time if they don't want to play the full 60 minutes and don't want to play disciplined, then there is what game #5 will become too: the Ducks capitalizing on our frequent mistakes. Like shooting fish in a barrel it would appear.

I will be calm later; right now that result is a punch in the gut. No way around it.

Just saw your tv debut, Mike. You were awesome! You sounded almost saintly for those donations of yours. Well done! Now we've just got to find video of it and post it all over youtube and every Canucks blog on the internet... :)

Yeah, nicely done Mike. It was pretty funny. I have to say though, to get maximum karmic affect from your donations, you need to change the wording to: "Unless the Ducks win tonight, I will donate $25 to ..." that makes the Ducks an evil entity in their own community.

My playoff beard was more pathetic than the power play, so I shaved it off tonight. Hopefully, the power play will be fresh and new too.

Selanne is taking some serious abuse this series...I feel so bad for him. Baroque you're the best. I really and truely do like the Canucks but there are some loyalties I have to have. And, well my loyalty to the Ducks because of the baby Ducks has to stay.

In some ways I look at this as a good thing. My pre-series prediction was that the canucks would drag them into deep water, tire them out, and finish them off. I'd like to see a nice quadruple overtime win for the nucks, with Pronger logging another 45 minutes.

Exactly...losing that last one made sense. Vancouver simply did not play in the third period tonight. That's all that game should be remembered for & the Ducks made them pay for it. Which one of those are the better teams made of? Playing 40 minutes a night or never saying never?

They needed to regroup, slow things back down, and re-up their intensity. I think it could have helped a bit. It was so frustrating to see them on their heels that entire third period, and not try to slow things down.

BTW, was it Sopel that coughed it up on the winner? I kinda missed it on the replay, but I saw him standing right there.

Not sure if it was Sopel or even if it was coughed up...just looked like a quick rebound the Moen pounced on because of his positioning.

I heard an interview this morning with Morrison and even he said the difference in the game was how they played in the third. He was at a loss to explain it. What can you do? They were just snake bitten starting in the third.
